  • Uh, why do you think those Syrians had to walk all the way to the Arctic to get to Europe when they were coming from Syria?

    They wanted to admire the scenery of the bogs and pines?

    Why didn’t they just take the direct route, because “they’re just lines on a map”?

    Why did they more than double the over 4000km long journey to over 8000 km?

    Oh, right, because of border control. They had to travel more than 4000 kilometres more to use less guarded crossings.

    And good fucking luck crossing any Russo-European borders currently.

    Yes, it’s true that borders are vast and not all controlled as easily. But nations sure as fuck try to.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland–Russia_border

    That alone added a few thousand km for them, as they went all the way to Norway to cross, because we Finns actually guard the border pretty intensely due to that fucker Vanja disrespecting it so.




  • Nope, how logical a decision is doesn’t get decided afterwards and conditionally.

    It’s decided based on what information they had at that point. The dude’s grandpa knew it was the right choice to get out. Even if he hadn’t fought, it would’ve been the right choice.

    Or are you saying that if the girl his grandpa was after had come with him, that it would’ve only been acceptable had that girl then joined the US military to fight the Nazis, a hundred years ago? And if she hadn’t, then it would’ve still been the right decision for the grandpa to bail from Germany to fight the Nazis, but it would’ve been a wrong decision for the girl?

    Yes, I get social responsibility, but you’re being literally unreasonable.




  • I’m aware, thanks.

    I’m Finnish.

    I would like for us to be in the treaties, but it would be foolish as we border Russia, and they just won’t respect any treaties.

    I linked it so that people can read about why there is a treaty to begin with. Same with anti-personnel landmines. Hell, I should probably go and take a refresher course, because when I was doing my service, we weren’t taught shit about AP mines, because geopolitical situation was a bit more chill and we respected the treaty.

    I do recall some of the older lieutenants saying something like “we won’t be teaching you about AP mines, although in practice, if Russia ever does start being threatening, we’ll probably back out of the treaty anyway”. Which we did.

    But yeah, comment’s just here to generate conversation about why Putler is such a bastard.







  • Based on the latest results, they advise that regularly eating a diet rich in complex carbohydrates, fruits, and vegetables is best for long-term sleep health.

    “Small changes can impact sleep. That is empowering – better rest is within your control,” said Marie-Pierre St-Onge, another author of the study.

    “Have you tried eating fruit”

    Yes. Yes I have.

    Sure it’ll help for people who have poor sleep because they have a poor diet.

    But what about people already on a decent diet and who still suffer from insomnia?



  • It’s genuinely more or less just more “reefer madness”.

    If you actually read my comment and the study carefully, you might notice that.

    For example:

    Because there is no diagnostic code for CHS, we followed the previous literature identifying CHS ED visits as those in which vomiting (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, Canada [ICD-10-CA] code R11) was the primary diagnosis and a cannabis harm (ICD-10-CA code F12 or T40.7) was an additional diagnosis.19,20 Since CHS is not widely recognized, we developed a secondary outcome measure termed sensitive CHS ED visits, which includes the primary outcome definition and an ED visit with a primary diagnosis of vomiting (ICD-10-CA code R11) plus an ED visit owing to a cannabis harm in the 6 months preceding or following the incident vomiting visit.

    So, anyone who’s been labeled to have any sort of harm from cannabis, which a lot of people take to just be use of cannabis. I can show you a recording of a psychiatrist supposedly specialising in drugs and addiction, who told me “there is no safe amount of cannabis you can use”.

    And then, when any of those roughly just users, report with vomiting to an ER even 6 months after someone has written down something about cannabis use, it get counted as “cannabis hyperemesis syndrome”.

    So because legalisation has made doctors more aware they’re questioning youth more about cannabis use. And since it’s legal, the youths aren’t lying as much as they used to. But they still have the same amount of alcohol overdoses (ie getting so drunk you start vomiting) and if you then visit the ER even just for being too drunk or having a fever with vomiting, you’ll be counted as a “ER CHS patient”.

    So you know. You really do need to go and read the things they claim, all the way down to the source. For one most of the things they source in those studies are studies which aren’t exclusively Canadian, making your “well the study is Canadian” argument a bit frail, since the study references other non-Canadian studies.

    I’m not against regulation, and I think a boozecard model would be fantastic. For things that actually require it. We had the same in Finland, up until the 70’s, really.

    It was from ‘44-’ 70 yeah.

    But see that was for booze, not beer. Since growing your own is also legal and east af, trying to control the amount of cannabis wouldn’t work in practice, and as someone who’s known daily users for years, I don’t think there is any inherent factor in cannabis which would cause this syndrome (“syndrome” = a collection of symptoms, not a disease in itself). It’s more bad reporting and bad understanding of the subject.

    For one when you’re totally drunk, never smoked weed, you take a large hit of something strong, you can easily start to feel spinning such that you literally vomit like there’s no tomorrow. To the point people who haven’t seen it will genuinely consider taking them to the ER. And during something like that, it does help to be in a hot shower.

    However as the drunkenness wears off, the person becomes even more nauseous, as they’re still plenty high without being used to it, and the hangover is creeping in.

    But never have I ever seen anyone vomit from cannabis who hasn’t been drinking. I’m not saying they don’t exist or that this syndrome isn’t real. I’m just saying I don’t see a well-explained causal relationship. I just see a bunch of poor correlation, as always.

    Anyways, yeah, register and limit. For actual drugs. That’s why booze was on the card but beer wasn’t. You can make that at home and it’s not strong enough to mess you up line vodka will do.

    Just the same, cannabis should be legal and ecstasy and others legalised with the Bratt system. People don’t cook mdma at home if there’s some available to purchase legally.

    Government is leaving out billions in drug money because there’s a huge market for illegal drugs just going completely unregulated and untaxed.
